Kesman Grapples With Impossible Decision: Tripod Playoffs or Weekend In Vail?

Hanover, NH: In the latest sign yet of the T’08’s jarring callousness, the first-year Tripod Hockey Commissioners scheduled hockey playoffs for the same weekend as the second-year Vail junket. Dozens of T’07’s, struggling with their decision of which winter sport to participate in, flooded Sally’s office for counseling sessions.

Mark Kesman T’07 spoke with the Tuck Profit about his choices. “On the one hand, this is my fourth and final season of Tripod Hockey. We have an AWESOME chance of finally grasping that elusive Tripod glory...I’ll never get another shot. On the other hand, skiing Vail’s back bowls and polishing my professional network at après ski… I just can’t believe these classless first-years could put me in this situation! They have no idea what I’m going through.”

Meanwhile, the Tuck community is showering the afflicted students with sympathy and support. Gator offered some advice: “Learning how to cope with life’s curveballs is probably the most important part of maturing into an adult. Sometimes you need to face adversity before you discover who you truly are.”
